The view would be in change of generating the markup and css based on
the menu configuration. It could generate any sort of markup desired,
with or without image tags.

I agree that is is suboptimal to need to supply a specific image for
disabled menu items. So long as browser support is deemed good enough, I
wholly support not having it. Never underestimate the lame-ness of
browser implementation, however.
